DrugMetal.ru conducted an interview with reformed industrial metal pioneers GODFLESH prior to their August 24 concert at Moscow Hall in Moscow, Russia. You can now watch the chat below.

GODFLESH will release its first new recording in over 12 years through Decibel magazine’s Flexi Series in October. A cover of the track “F.O.D. (Fuck of Death)” by legendary death thrashers SLAUGHTER (Canada) will be included in the subscriber version of the magazine’s November issue (streeting October 5).

In a recent interview with the French radio station Le 106, GODFLESH‘s Justin Broadrick stated about the band’s forthcoming album — which is tentatively titled “A World Lit Only By Fire” and due in May 2014 — “It will be [musically] similar to the first two or three [GODFLESH albums]. I just think, like we’re playing these shows, we feel very pure about we’re doing and honoring the initial intentions with what we originally set out to do. Which, I think, like most bands and musicians and all the rest of it, by the time you get on to your fourth album, it’s somewhat of a dilution going on to what you initially tried to achieve. It will definitely sound aggressive and it probably won’t sound like any of the other records we’ve made, but it will have the minimalism of the first few records.”

Added GODFLESH bassist G.C. Green: “It won’t sound like the first two record; it will be more the spirit… When you make records over the years, you change as people, you change as musicians, you progress, you develop and you take other styles on, but I think, having had a break from it and come back to it, it seems that we’ve gone straight back into what the essence of it was originally, and that’s why it feels good.”

Continued Justin: “It’s getting straight back to the core of what this is all about. And I think having a break from it has probably even more inspired… It’s like refocusing and obviously, we’re somewhat older and wiser. It’s gonna be a really interesting record. It’s extremely minimal and very, very brutal — a fairly unforgiving record, really, I think.”

GODFLESH‘s seminal debut full-length album, 1989’s “Streetcleaner”, was remastered and reissued in a deluxe digipak in Europe on June 21, 2010 and in North America on August 10, 2010 via Earache Records.

“Streetcleaner” was GODFLESH‘s second release, proving to be one of the band’s finest and most recognized albums and helping them to become one of the most influential industrial bands ever. Now “Streetcleaner” was brought up to date as a special expanded version, with all tracks remastered by GODFLESH founding member Justin Broadrick. The album also includes a bonus disc featuring 12 previously unreleased live tracks, alternate mixes and demos, and comes housed in a deluxe multi-panel digipak with detailed liner notes.

Indie Recordings has set a September 21 release date (September 24 in Germany, Austria and Norway) for “Vertikal II” from Sweden’s CULT OF LUNA. The four-track effort contains over 36 minutes of music.

“‘Vertikal II’ is the continuation of our journey into the harshness of the monotone city landscape,” commented CULT OF LUNA‘s Johannes Persson. “The songs were written during the ‘Vertikal’ session and we always intended them to be released close to the album. Justin Broadrick‘s (GODFLESH) remix was not a part of the original plan but since it came out phenomenally good we thought that it would fit perfectly as closer of the whole ‘Vertikal’ project. With ‘Vertikal II’, we complete and end a chapter that, for the last few years, has been a big part of our lives. Now we leave the inner city and look up into the vast void above.”

“Vertikal” marked a much-anticipated return for CULT OF LUNA after five years spent cultivating the ideas and directing the influences that have helped form a concept for the album. Distilled throughout are themes of machinery, repetition and clear, linear structures honed to the visual imagery of Fritz Lang‘s classic expressionist science-fiction film “Metropolis”. The music broods, builds and boils as you may expect from CULT OF LUNA, but never overcomplicates itself or veers from its intentions; it is arguably their finest and most cohesive piece of work to date.

The CD version of “Vertikal II” comes in a limited digipak, with three new songs plus a remix of “Vacarious Redemption” by Justin K. Broadrick. The total running time is over 36 minutes.

Universe-implodingly heavy French doomsters C R O W N unleash new album Psychurgy on April 22 via Candlelight, and we’re stoked to be unveiling a special trailer put together by the band to give us a taste of what’s in store. Fans of Isis, Godflesh and the like, take note: this is seriously heavy stuff.

Newly locked-down Neurosis performances are now set to take place late this year into the first week of 2013 in Atlanta, Los Angeles and Seattle, with tickets for all three shows set to go on sale this Friday, November 30th. Even more tour actions for the group will be announced in the days ahead.

Following a recent release show for “Honor Found In Decay” in Oakland, this week the collective has traversed the Atlantic for two special U.K. performances, at ATP’s Nightmare Before Christmas hosted by Steve Albini’s band Shellac, followed by a show in London with support from Godflesh.

Industrial dirge metal band Gloom Warfare has posted a new track that it will be including on a future release. That song, “Epidemical,” is streaming below. You may remember this band from its “Post Apocalyptic Downfall” album that it released on Final Gates Records not too long ago. Gloom Warfare plays old school industrial metal in the vein of Godflesh and Pitch Shifter.

“We All Rage In Gold,” the immense opening track to Neurosis’ anticipated “Honor Found In Decay” opus, is now streaming exclusively via Noisey, VICE’s music channel. Stream the song right here.

According to a press release, “the six-and-a-half minute behemoth bears some of the most ethereal, organic resonance, as well as some of the most glacial, signature Neurosis riffs found on the new album.”

The standard jewel case CD, limited edition Stoughton gatefold sleeve CD, and digital download versions of “Honor Found In Decay” will be released on the band’s Neurot Recordings in time for Samhain, in Germany on October 26th, throughout the rest of Europe on October 29th, and in North America on October 30th. Neurosis’ previous label home Relapse Records will be handling the 2xLP vinyl edition of the album.

As the tenth album from Neurosis nears release at the end of October, today the band has confirmed a record release show for “Honor Found In Decay.” This all-ages release show will take place on November 17th at the Fox Theater in the band’s point of origin, Oakland, California, and will also feature opening support from doom wizards YOB and direct support from progressive thrash legends Voivod.

Presale tickets for this momentous event will go on sale today at 10am PST at this location and the general ticket link will go live this Sunday here.

Last week the second track from Honor Found In Decay, “At The Well,” was made public worldwide via National Public Radio. The track premiere preceded by a detailed visual trailer for the album created by Neurosis’ own visual artist Josh Graham and edited by video architect Kenneth Thomas via Neurot Recordings’ YouTube page.

Set to see release through the band’s own Neurot Recordings, the CD and deluxe download versions of Honor Found In Decay will be unleashed in Germany October 26th, throughout the rest of Europe October 29th, and in North America on October 30th, with previous label home Relapse Records handling the vinyl edition.
